The 10 Types of Programmers You'll Encounter in the Field

It looks like I'm a Jekyll and Hyde type Theoretician and Code Cowboy.

I'd love to claim "Ninja", but the trail of collateral damage points to "Cowboy". :-O
every night, i kneel at the foot of my bed and thank the Great Overseeing Politicians for protecting my freedoms by reducing their number, as if they were deer in a state park. -- Chris Losinger, Online Poker Players?

number 11. The Wannabe Still learning, picking up snippets, hangs out with coders and talks the talk, can't yet walk the walk. Knows his limitations, tries hard not to look a fool, but sometimes caught out. There, another one for the list based upon your truly.:)
------------------------------------ Happy Primes Lead to Happy Memories. Don't Google FGI
Even though I make a living as programmer, I would have to agree with the Wannabe title. I am too damn humble to be anything else and I would get my ass kicked by all of the real programmers if they heard me speaking otherwise :) At least for me, if I start to get too cocky, then I fall right on my face and make an ass out of myself.

We kicked one of those out of our company a couple of months back... still cleaning up the mess :doh:

Maybe wannabe isn't a good title then. How about, noob. I think Noob is just fine.

What's with the "56b" scattered between the text? Is that some new thing to identify steal?

I used to be a Cowboy until my butt got kicked by a Gandalf. Though I'd love to call myself a ninja, I'm more of a Vince Neil (I'm not 30 yet), Paratrooper, Evangelist and Theoretician all mixed up. I guess the ratio would be all equal parts. :)

LOL I am SO Vince Neil (#4) Working with Theoriticians (#6) drives me nuts. Code Cowboys (#7) and Mediocre Men (#9) are cannon fodder for practical jokes and making fun of ;)

I am sooooo sick of "he or she," "his or hers," etc. If political correctness is so important in writing, why hasn't the language been updated to give us single, elegant words which will suffice without causing the reader to stumble over gender appeasing debris every other sentence? Or, as Bill the Cat would say, "Ack! Phffft!!!" (All of which is a poke at the current politically correct state of society, not the author who has to live with it or be burned at the stake for insensitivity.) Good stuff otherwise, of course. :-D

There is. The proper PC phrase is s/he/it, and is pronounced like a certain 4 letter curse. This is not a coincidence.
